Book description
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, many animals had to fend for
themselves because their owners lost them or were unable to care for
them. In
Pawprints of Katrina: Pets Saved and Lessons Learned
, Cathy Scott documents her experience working with the Best Friends
Animal Society triage center to rescue lost animals and reunite them
with their owners. Over two hundred stories with accompanying photos
describe dramatic and challenging rescue cases with details about the
rescues, the examinations, treatment, and follow-up care by the selfless
volunteers who worked to save beloved best friends. Cathy Scott
traveled to New Orleans at the request of Best Friends Animal Society
to document the plight of pets displaced by Hurricane Katrina. She
quickly became a rescuer as well as a reporter. Scott's work has
appeared in the New York Times
, the Los Angeles Times
, the New York Post
, the San Diego Union-Tribune
, the Las Vegas Sun
, George
magazine, and Reuters News Service.
